Note: The 2nd Deck at 250 meters (820 ft.) which is the higher deck called the "Special Deck", is closed for renovations until the summer of 2017.

Although the Tokyo Skytree is much taller and has received much fan-fare, the Tokyo Tower still shines bright and beautiful along the Tokyo Skyline. At 332.9 metres (1,092 ft), it is the second-tallest structure in Japan after the new Tokyo Skytree. The tower was built based the design of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France.

Ryokan Sansuiso
